Opening - A back that becoming more distant

== After school ==
== Haneoka girls' High school - 2-A classroom ==

Himari : Yosh! Then, we have decided on our practice schedule for next week!
Moca : That's good and all, but Ran, you don't update your schedule again. Even though Moca-sensei has already told you how to do it~
Ran : Ah, I have a reason for that...
Tsugumi : What is it? Did your smartphone broke?
Ran : No. Actually, I'm planning to attend a flower arrangement exhibition.
Moca : ...!
Ran : That's why starting from next week I need to concentrate on my flower arrangement... So I want to take a break from band activity for a while.
Tomoe : An exhibition, huh~! Awesome, Ran!  I'm cheering for you of course!
Tsugumi : Yes! Me too! We'll definitely going to come and see Ran-chan's in the exhibition.
Himari : Ran, You didn't update your schedule, so you can tell us about this directly?
Ran : Well, something like that. Because this is something important, so I want to tell everyone about this directly. I think it's rude if I just tell everyone using a message.
Himari : Geez~! You have grown so much, Ran~!
Ran : Shut up. Anyways, I'm sorry, but I can't come to practice for a while. I'm going to contact you again later.
Tomoe : Okay! Ran, Good luck!
Moca : Yeah, Good luck~, Ran.

== A few days later ==
== Studio ==

Himari : ...Yosh! I think we have practice enough. Let's end today practice here.
Tomoe : Aaa, Good work.
Moca : Good work~.
Tsugumi : I wonder what's Ran-chan doing right now?
Himari : Right now, she's probably thinking about what kind of thing she wants to makes while putting a troubled expression, right?
Tomoe : Ahaha. I could imagine her doing that.
Moca : (At that time, I have decided to chase Ran's back.)
Moca : (Even though I can't catch it, at the very least, I don't want to lose sight of it. But...)
Moca : ...
Ran : Good work, Everyone.
Moca : ! Ran, Why are you here~
Ran : I just come here to visit everyone.
Moca : Ran~ Are you getting lonely~?
Ran : Shut up.
Tomoe : Ran, thank you for coming here!!
Tsugumi : Ran-chan, since you have come here, how about we go to the family restaurant together after this?  I want to hear how it is going at your end!
Ran : Yes, let's do that. I also want to know how's everyone doing.
Moca : We're doing just the same as always~.
Himari : Fufu. Then, let's go!

== Family restaurant ==

Tomoe : Heee~, So it's an exhibition for young people only.
Ran : Yes. The age requirement to participate is from 10 to 29 years old only.
Himari : Is there any reward for this exhibition?
Ran : There isn't. It's just for us to exhibit the things that we make.
Tsugumi : Somehow, I'm getting excited now. I can't wait to see what kind of thing that Ran-chan will make.
Himari : Yes! You're also excited, right, Moca?
Moca : Of course~. But, as expected Moca-chan doesn't understand about flower that much~.
Tomoe : You're right. Ran already told us many things about flower arrangement, so we're familiar with it. But still, we still don't know about the aesthetic sense of flower arrangement.
Ran : Just feel what you see. I'm thinking of making something that you could express in many different ways from many different perspectives.
Himari : Oooo...! You're so cool, Ran! Just now, you sounded just like a flower arrangement master!
Moca : (Something that you can see from many different perspectives... Is it okay for me, who is so desperate as to not lose sight of Ran's back, to see it.)
Ran : Don' make fun of me.
Himari : I'm not making fun of you~! I'm seriously thinking that you're awesome. I'm really happy seeing Ran take flower arrangements seriously like this.
Tomoe : Aaa, Me too. Do your best, Ran. We'll also do our best in our band practice.
Ran : Even though I'm not there, it doesn't mean you can slack off, okay.
Tomoe : We never slack off~!?
Tsugumi : Ahaha...
Moca : (The way I'm now, can I really see Ran's work?)
Moca : ( I have a feeling that if I see it, I would lose sight of Ran...)
Moca : ...
Moca : Waaa, I can't wait to see it~. Ran-chan-sensei's work~.
